Crystal Palace are reportedly willing to listen to offers for striker Christian Benteke this summer, but remain desperate to keep hold of winger Wilfried Zaha.

Crystal Palace are reportedly willing to listen to offers for Christian Benteke this summer.

The 27-year-old has struggled to produce his best form so far this season, scoring just three Premier League goals in 30 appearances and only netting his first at home during the 5-0 win over Leicester City last month.

The Mirror reports that Palace are considering cashing in on the Belgian striker, but only if they are able to recoup a large chunk of the £27m they paid Liverpool for him in August 2016.

However, the Eagles are understood to be determined to keep Wilfried Zaha at the club, despite growing speculation that the winger could leave off the back of a season which has seen him score eight goals and create three more.

Tottenham Hotspur have held a long-standing interest in the 25-year-old and are still considered frontrunners for his signature, although they could face competition from other clubs in the Premier League's top six.

Palace are reluctant to lose their star man, though, and are preparing to reject any approaches unless an irresistible offer arrives.
